Lesson
When designing future programs, ADB needs to encourage the government to implement long-term reforms that expand sex-disaggregated data collection and strengthen the capacity of line ministries and statistical agencies. With ADB dedicated technical assistance (TA) support, the government should promote the establishment of a monitoring and evaluation system, interagency exchange of data, and systemic links between planning, budgeting, and execution.

Project Number: 56149-001
Project Name: Building Resilience with Active Countercyclical Expenditures Program

Lesson
The framework for a program’s data management system should be put in place before its start to measure the achievement of targets and beneficiaries and (the ambitiousness of goals should be balanced against the availability of data and capacity to quickly augment granular data collection. Although the government has increased its focus on gender equality and has made efforts to strengthen gender data tracking, data disaggregated by sex and age of end recipients were often not available at the time of program preparation and monitoring.

Lesson
The formulation of a coherent results framework that logically links the inputs, activities, and outputs with the envisaged outcome facilitates better monitoring and measurement of project results. The quality of a design and monitoring framework is enhanced by outcome targets that are realistic and appropriately reflect the immediate changes of the outputs.

Lesson
Setting output indicators in the design and monitoring framework (DMF) that are the same or identical to policy actions confuses inputs with intended changes generated by policy actions. IED notes that this has been a standard practice for policy-based loans (PBLs) approved under previous ADB guidelines for preparing DMFs. However, going forward, specifying indicators that clearly measure the intended changes of policy actions would facilitate a better assessment of results.

Lesson
Establishing a project performance monitoring system (PPMS) allows better tracking of project results and implementation progress and risks. It will also allow a project to undertake necessary adjustments to address implementation issues and data gaps and would be useful during ex-post project evaluation, in terms of a more systematic aggregation and assessment of data and information collected via the system.

Lesson
The design and monitoring framework (DMF) should be reviewed and updated as necessary during implementation to ensure continued alignment with other aspects of the program. The outcome and output indicators in the program DMF had been developed at appraisal for achievement over a relatively short period of 24 months. However, when program implementation was extended by 23 months to November 2019, an opportunity was missed to update the targeted dates for the indicators, which were measured about 1 year after the extended program completion date.

Lesson
Project targets and indicators, to be realistic and achievable, have to be aligned with the government’s development plans as well as ADB’s country partnership strategy.

Lesson
The need for some project outputs can decline over time, for several valid reasons. While it is important to avoid unnecessary investments, it is also important to record such changes to note these reasons and revise the design and monitoring framework on time.

Lesson
If the project outputs considered in the project designs are not fully assigned to the implementing agency, delivery of those outputs is unlikely. Therefore, all outputs considered at project appraisal should be identified with an implementation arrangement at the design stage and validated during implementation.

Lesson
Clarity in project design particularly in identifying outcomes and outputs correctly with appropriate targets and indicators are essential in monitoring project achievements and determining how success will be assessed. A well-conceived results framework can effectively assess how economic resources and inputs (e.g., expertise, funds, etc.) are converted to results, for example. This could help facilitate a project’s focus on interventions and specific expected outcomes. Moreover, a program–logic diagram can help in this approach.

Given the flexibility of the MFF, if necessary, regular updating and revisions of the DMFs, including its baseline data, are expected, thus, proper documentation of these changes should be available at completion.
